Saddened to learn of Raeanns passing. She was a caring, giving, helping hand, non judgemental lady.
I envision she has joined her beloved Bruce, in a pair of lounge chairs, pile of books between them, under an umbrella, on their favorite Florida gulf coast beach. RIP
Prayers of peace to her family and close friends.

Natasha and Colin;
I have many fond memories of your mother. I met her before she and your father married.
I will remember most how well she handled her struggle with diabetes, a disease we shared.
Because of a prior commitment, I will be unable to attend the memorial service. Please know my prayers are with you.
Lorin,

Love, Natasha
